that the Austro-German entente, concluded
for the preservation of peace, has served it's
time, and is about to be replaced by a
Russo German entente, framed in view Of
war. If this country had consented last
summer to enter into an offensive
and defensive alliance with Germany,
strengthened by some sort of a Gus
toms unionor z0llUereiB, things might
have been different. But the rulers
Of the Dual Monarchy for the second time
refused to entertain the scheme, and the
consequence was the collapse Of the Aus

This evenings NeWe FTeis Presse publish
es the text of the circular issued a month
ago by the Russian Government attempt
ing to justify their policy in the Bulgarian
crisis. 1t is entirely of retrospective int
rest, and the full substance of its contents
leaked out a few days after it was des-
patched, which was Oh Nov. %. There
are two curious passages which were, how
ever, not published. One of them says
that Russia, who founded Bulgaria, does
certainly not wish to touch its indepen'
dence, but is, on the contrary, bent on
restoring it. The other occurs III the con-
Guiding paragraph, and is to the effect
that Russia will pursue her laudable ends
by pacific means and without departing
from the treaties as long as the other
Powers continue to observe them. Accord
ing to intelligence which reaches me this
evening Russian military action may be ex-
pected next March, unless there should be
before then Il transformation scene at Sofia

climax, That is eminently probable, as
pointed out last week. The public must

Since he has been ON the throne the
editor of the MoscOw Gazette has
constantly been consulted by him.
The result has been a fanatical
Muscovite foreign policy but that
was precisely what those who knew
anything of Ihe Cars character had
expected. If his Panslavist proclivl-
ties and his obdurate disposition had
been duly reckoned with, certain
neighbours of Russia would have
saved themselves many receptions,
and the evil days now approaching
mighr have been STAYED off awhile,
perhaps for ever. Whether the events
distinctly foreshndowed in my DIES

is difficult to say, but since yesterday
there have been strange rumours IN

expected from the meeting between
Prince Alexander and the Bulgarian

DARING ATTACH ON A TRAIN.

The New York papers of the 18Th
int. contain the particulars from St.
Louis of lhetroinrobbcry which occur
red two days previously near Bellevue
station, Texas, showing a state of
panic upon the part of the passengers.
Three robbers, who were al mask
ed and made no effort at concealment,
reached the water tank a few minutes
before the ears. When the train ar
rived one of the robbers with a drawn
pistol ordered Engineer Ayres, his
fireman, and o. q. Miller, another
engineer, who were riding in The car,
to alight, which they did. He then
marched them some thirty feet from
the train, and took from them all the
vnluabIes they had. While this was
going on, the other men went through
the train. One of the passengers who
was looking out of the window saw
this operation with the train men, and
went into the forward cars, notifying
the other passengers of what was go
ing on, and telling them to secrete
their money, This they did in vari-
Gus ways, giving most of it and their
diamonds to several of the ladies
aboard. Miss Kate Haas, of Folt
Worth, took charge of 5000 dolls. and
other valuables. Mrs. Chambers of
Potsdam, NY, received5, 00Odols.an

Mrs. Wittick was greatly incensed at

going to submit to such an outrage

Neither the English nor the Aus

received any confirmation of the
reported iIl-treatment of the German

brought against the Sultan two years
ago. 1t was said that a CircasSian
officer had solicited and obtained an
audience of the Sultan TO present a
petition, and that when in the august

breast pocket to take out the docu
ment. The Sultan, alarmed, think
ing he was about to draw a poignard,
Immediately seized a revolver ON the
table next to him and shot The Cir

a3certained that it was apocryphnl,
But within the last fortnight all sorts
of nonsense has been talked about the
Gar, who is represented TO be max
ing almost daily use of his revolver.
His Ministers, and even his own
family, are said to stand in terror of
him. One rumour states that he
throttled a gardener in the park at
Gatschina with his own hands. An
other describes a scene between the
Gear and one of his physicians, ter
minating fatally for the latter. There
can be no doubt that the Car is in II
state of nervous excitement, a fact
which has materially tended to
aggravate the pending crisis; but he
is not bloodlhirsty or violent. If his
mind is affected there is still a good
deal of methods in his folly. Ills
treatment of Prince Alexander has
alienated all sympathy from him, and
he is at present the most unpopular
Sovereign in Europe. Still his ncr-
vousness does not amount to insanity,
nor does it lead him. to commit the
s~anguinary deeds which have been
attributed to him. 1t should not
be forgotten that, even when the
present Czur was a young man, he

A FooLHARDY FEAT.-The point
for the race was one of the steepest
gulches on the most PERCEPTIONS noun
tain within radius of twenty miles,
and it is not an exaggeration to say
the incline of the course was equal to
~ deg. The length was 1900 feet
by measurement, for the starting
point was Just at the upper end of
two full mining claims, AMI the
"hogback before referred to, the CEN
ter Of which was 400 feet from the
lower end lines Of the claims in aues-
ton. Under the agreement, Peter
sen, Swede, was TO enter the gulch
nearly 1000 feet above the line where
the timber ceases to grow, and after
taking his position directly in the
path OF the slide, or avalanche, as it
can more properly be called, was re-
qUired to start the snow. This Was
easy enough, as a stick of giant pow
der was ali he needed. It looked like
tallow candle wrapped in a brown
paper, and the idea was to explode it,
the tremendous vibration of the air
starting the slide. It's a common
thing to start slides in that way, aud
it is often resorted to by men who
have steep mountain sides to climb or
gulches to cross.
Well. to get along with the story,
Petersen got out in the gu!ch all
right. banked his shoes and then piac
ed his feet in the straps. His next
move was to draw the giaut-powder
from his bootleg and adjust the cap

preparing to fire an ordinary blast,
and to the fifty or sixty men who
stood below and watched him, all of
whom knew he was taking a tremen-
deus risk in even venturing into the
gulch so soon after the storm, it seem
ell as if he were trying 10 harrow

of the crater camped there. A few of
Porter men went to the crest Of the
hill, but they were too late. The Con-
feierates had recovered from their
surprise, aud were resolute in the in
tentioa not to lose Petersburg for the
want of a little hard fighting. Porter's
men were outnumbered, and were
promptly driven off the hill and into
the crater. And then, the immense
hole not being sufficiently full to sat
isiy Burnside, he sent the black divi-
sion into the fight, and the negroes
cheerfulIy piled into the crater where
their white comrades were. And the
Ninth Corps, commanded by famous
West Point graduate, was bottled up

forces were said to have been at Ber.

Army of the Potomac were mentally
depressed in July of 1864. They had
ceased to fight as stanchly as they had
done during the previous May and
June. They have been reproached
with this fact. But did the fault lie
altogether with the enlisted men !?
Had they no cause for encouragement?
Had they no reason to doubt the mil
itary talent Of General Grant? Let
the answer be the story of the blow
ing up of Confederate fort on July
so, 1864.
In front Of that portion Of our line
around Petersburg which was held by
the Ninth Corps, the h-photo-
graphed Burnside's corps, was a fort
strongly built and heavily manned.
Behind it, and distant about 400 yards
from it, was crest of ground which
overlooked Petersburg. II We could
capture this ridge and plant a few
batteries of well-served guns on it
Petersburg WAS ours, and the Confed-
crate army would be cut in twain,
and would have to fight in the open,
and there we could hammer the life
out of it. In front Of the fort and
debouching into our lines was ravine.
The distance between the Confederate
lines and ours was at this point about
$50 yards. In the Ninth Corps there
was Pennsylvania regiment which
had been raised in the mining regions
OF that State. Colonel Peasants, who
commanded this regiment, was prac-
tical miner. He proposed to run a
tunnel from the ravine underneath
the fort and blow it and its garrison
skyward.
This proposition was adopted at
corps and army headquarters, and the
work began. When the mine was
finished it was necessary to select the
troops to compose the charging column
to be launched through the gap. 1t
must be remembered that this assault
Was to decide the immediate fate of
Petersburg and Richmond, and, in
effect, of the Confederacy. If it sue
ceeded the war ended at'once. II it
failed the life Of the dying Confeder-
acy would be prolonged for months.
1t was certain that the fort would be
blown into the air, and it was also
certain that column OF troops, prop
erly led, could rush through the gap
the explosion would make in the Con-
tederats line and gain the crest of the
ridge in ITS rear. Once on the crest
Of the ridge, they could hold it, if
they would, against all of Lees army.

purposely do not say great generaD
have selected to make the assault?
Would it have been proof that a gen
eral possessed extraordinary military
talent il be had carefully formed a
charging column of picked troops,
